Phish

On October 26, 2010, Phish performed a notable live set at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH, featuring an intriguing sandwich of "Makisupa Policeman" and Gregory Isaacs' "Night Nurse." This performance occurred during a dynamic phase of the band's career, shortly after the release of their album "Joy," which came out in 2009. "Joy" was significant because it marked Phish's return to the studio after a five-year hiatus, showcasing their ability to evolve while remaining true to their jam band roots. By 2010, Phish was actively melding their classic improvisational style with more structured compositions, as evident in this performance. Their choice to incorporate "Night Nurse" into a beloved original like "Makisupa Policeman" demonstrates their distinctive ability to fuse genres and pay homage to musical influences, highlighting their creative depth during this vibrant period of their career.
